Description: Sachtler aktiv8T Touch & Go Fluid Head with SpeedLevel Technology Bundle with DanaDolly 75mm Adapter, Aktiv 75mm Bowl Connector, DanaDolly Universal Rental KitIN STOCKThe aktiv8T Fluid Head uses Sachtler's truly innovative SpeedLevel technology to provide almost instant mounting and leveling of your camera rig on select Sachtler tripods The clamp and stud SpeedLevel system saves precious time leveling your camera rig by eliminating the need to screw on a tie-down knob. Designed for documentary, news, and corporate productions, the aktiv8 supports rigs weighing up to 26.5 pounds. This 75mm ball fluid head features 15 steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and tilt drag adjustment, plus zero settings for both balance and drag.The SpeedLevel technology replaces the traditional head screw and tie-down design with a strong clamp built into the head bowl and a stud component that clamps onto your tripod bowl or other mounting platform, such as a slider. Simply grasp the large lever on the head and pull it up to release the clamp, then press it down to lock your head in place. Partially lifting the lever allows you to quickly and easily level the head.When used with a separately available flowtech tripod, the aktiv8 enables you to spread the legs flat, getting as low to the ground as your head can without a tie-down knob getting in the way. You can also now mount your head directly onto a slider using a separately available aktiv system stud that screws onto support systems with a 3/8"-16 threaded stud.The PrismBubble level system is pressed once to illuminate the bubble level to be illuminated or pressed twice to light up both the bubble level and the drag settings, a boon when working in darker environments. The bubble level also has a built-in prism, enabling you to more easily level the head when the legs are at set at maximum height or an awkward angle.Mount your camera using the included Sideload Plate S that has both a 1/4-20 camera screw and a locating pin to prevent twisting. With a sliding range of 4.7", this head balances quickly to accommodate variously configured rigs The Sachtler aktiv8 head also features a detachable pan bar that can be mounted onto the rosettes on either the right or left side of the head.aktiv Fluid Head CompatibilityThe aktiv6 and aktiv8 fluid heads are compatible with Sachtler 75mm tripods (flowtech 75 aktiv, Tripod 75/2 AL, SpeedLock 75, ENG 75/2 D, and DA 75L)FeaturesSpeedLevel TechnologyUse the large integrated lever to quickly mount, level, and lock the head on your tripod or other base; lift up to release, lift partially to level, and press down to lock the head firmly in placeSpeedSwap BaseCentered around a metal stud, the SpeedSwap base clamps onto any 75mm bowl tripod or to the separately available slider base; additional bases can be purchased separately to fit a second tripod, dolly, or sliderPrismBubble LevelThe illuminated PrismBubble is visible from any height or angle, saving you time when leveling at higher or lower positions26.5 lb Capacity Fluid HeadThis 26.5 lb capacity fluid head is suited for larger DSLRs, mirrorless MFT cameras, and pro-style digital cine camerasStepped Counterbalance and Drag15 steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and drag plus zero settings for free spins and tiltsSideload PlateThe sideload plate has 4.7" of travel for balancing your rig and both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screws The Dana Dolly Portable Dolly System Rental Kit with universal track ends is a heavy duty camera dolly platform that rides on 16 custom modified soft polyurethane wheels that resist flat spotting and use ABEC-7 rated precision bearings providing you with extremely smooth dolly shots.

The rental kit includes a monitor mount with a ball head adapter. The Dana dolly is designed and manufactured in the USA.Custom Machined Track WheelsThe key to the Dana dolly's smooth ride are the 16 custom machined track wheels.The wheels are custom made soft, then turned down to be round within 1/1000 of an inch to eliminate the "bounce" that normal skateboard wheels suffer from.You can park the dolly with 100 pounds of camera and accessories on the track at 100° F for an hour without the wheels flat spotting.Another benefit from the machining the wheels is reduced squeak during use.The wheels are custom modified 16 at a time on a special machine, providing uniformity. Wheel TrucksThe wheel trucks can swivel on the dolly, which allows it to ride on straight and round track.A felt washer separates the dolly platform from the wheel trucks, helping to reduce noise.The included T-Tool features a 1/2, 9/16, and 3/8" ends.It allows you to tighten the wheel trucks using the 9/16th end to suit your taste.Mitchell MountThe Mitchell mount features an elongated key way, allowing you to use non standard adapters.Track SupportsTrack supports fit into available standard Junior stand receivers or 5/8" Baby pin, although Dana Dolly recommends the use of available beefy baby stands at a minimum and to avoid thin walled aluminum standsAbout us TransFilm is specialized in Sales, Service, Rentals of Camera Support Equipment such as Sachtler, OConnor, Vinten, Cartoni, Miller, Libec, Manfrotto, Arri, Anton Bauer, Core, Lite Panels, Teradek, SmallHD, Swit and more.
